PGA SHOW RECAP, Orlando, FL (January 20-24, 2025)

The section staff attended the show in preparation for an exciting golf season in 2025. The first two days focused on Section Business Operations education, featuring insights from our new leadership team and opportunities to collaborate with staff from other PGA sections. It was also wonderful to see many professionals from our section at the event, all passionate about the game and eager to learn more about its new and innovative offerings. We held productive meetings on the floor with existing and new partners during the show. We value that opportunity to connect with the remarkable individuals and companies that contribute to the sport we love.

AWARDS

PGA Jr. League #GameChanger Award

Winners Honored at 2025 PGA Show

During the 2025 PGA Show last week, PGA Jr. League Coaches took the stage Wednesday (Jan. 22) for the #GameChanger Awards ceremony emceed by NBC’s Lauren Thompson, celebrating their accomplishments in expanding opportunities for kids to learn and enjoy the game of golf.

#GameChanger Award recipients are organized by category (25 largest programs in the country, largest program in each PGA of America Section, and Player Engagement Award).

In 2022, a Player Engagement #GameChanger Award was added to celebrate Coaches who embrace an array of programming. This year, Coaches who lead 40 or more active PGA Jr. League players, host multiple age divisions and seasons of PGA Jr. League, host a PGA Family Golf event, and have completed ADM (American Development Model) certification and one additional course through the PGA Coach platform will receive a Player Engagement Award.

“The #GameChanger Awards have become a yearly highlight for the PGA of America, applauding the incredible efforts of our Coaches to engage young players and make golf accessible to more families,” said Steve Tanner, Senior Director of Player Engagement for the PGA of America. “These Coaches are at the heart of providing impactful experiences that transcend golf, and we’re proud to celebrate their achievements.” --Via news.pga.org
